Effects of Low Social Interaction

Effects of low social interaction

What are effects of low social interaction? I guess, low self esteem and maybe suicide attemps…

Why? Because if one is never social or don´t know how to be social one can never learn and if one can never learn then one can never ask if one can never ask one can never achieve if the achievement is not there one will walk around with its head down because of the fear of rejection because all one wants is a humans acceptance if the acceptance is not there then ones esteem of self is distracted and never built which removes confidence of self.

If you aren't interacting with people very much, it is very possible to start having a lower view of yourself simply because you may start to believe that others are not interacting with you because they don´t want.

And if your social skills are really low, you will feel fear and won´t go out. As much time as you are with yourself instead of with others, you could have feelings of loneliness and may think your life is useless, and you could think about suicide, may be.

A study taken in US concluded that the low social interaction affects longevity as much as alcoholism and smoking, so as for the sake of better life you are keeping yourself from alcohol and smoke, in the same manner keep yourself closer to the other people for a better and long life.

The interaction with others is considered a very important factor for a healthy social life but a recent study has shown that ties with others also helps in increasing lifespan.

The family and friends are more than just our relationships but now the study has shown that our longevity relies on these interactions.

This was the result of a single study, an analysis of different such studies was carried by a group of researchers and that also showed almost similar results. In the analysis almost 148 previous studies were reviewed and the final conclusion was that the adults with strong personal relationships may live in average almost four years more than those who are lacking strong personal bonding.

The study co-author Timothy Smith, a psychology professor at Brigham Young University while discussing about this said that "Among adults over age 18, those with strong social relationships are likely to live an average of 3.7 years longer than those with weaker social relationships".

Sonja Lyubomirsky, a psychology professor who studies happiness at the University of California at Riverside is also a good supporter of the findings of the previous studies and according to her "They help support good health habits: They remind us to put that seat belt on and ask us about that pain we've had, have we had that checked out? That may be the biggest factor".

Thus we can say that our family and friends are not only helping us in living a happy life
